CHRISTIAN H.

And as I don't know anything about college basketball, I simply have to survive the next round as well.

 

Nice ending!

Wow! That had my heart skip a beat!!! I played earlier today while most people were probably still working and put up a decent score. When I checked at about 10 pm, though, I had been surpassed. So, I ponied up another fifty buck and played thirty or thirty-five hands out and was about $300 above 16th. Stupid me... I didn't settle for that and made another medium size bet... when I lost it, I played a negative progression and lost SIX hands in a row, bringing me back down to $500! (Insert self-hatred here) I luckily struggled my way back up to $2300 with one hand left to go. Then I sat and waited to see where 16th was sitting. At the last minute, it went from $2250 to $2300 - exactly what I had. "Great" I thought. Since I had to win my last hand regardless of the amount, I made a max bet. I was dealt T-2 against a 7 upcard. I drew an 8 (thank goodness), and the dealer went 7-6-6. I squeaked by, and my $3300 should put me in the top 5 I thought. I've got to admit... I was sweating it!

Ken, how did you get that list so damn fast? It was only 11:02 when I started writing this!

 

close call

Phew, that got really close for me in the end.

However, I solved my basketball problem...

I wonder how many rebuys were necessary so far. I had 1.

 

Out Early Again

Swog was out early again ?.You need to stop doing that SWOG how will we ever get to see you or read about you. :laugh:

 

To Much Smoke

Was that why we didn't see you very long on TV? Was it because there was to much smoke left over from my match ? If thats what they call smoked I will take that everytime a 20 vs dealers up card of 3. Tell me Swog how BIG of a favorite was I.That sitution I will take 7 days a week and twice on Sundays.

 

Was the S In The Wrong Spot

If I push I would advance also as Hollywood would have lost his bet and Kevin Didn't bet enough to pass me.So how is my Favorite % lower on the push? In another point did you put the S in the wrong spot was it suppose to be behind BLOW as opposed to be behind JOE ,Or was I suppose to read between the lines :laugh:

 

Final eight

1. Kenneth r S. $5,997.50
2. Walt H. $5,995.00
3. Dave K. $5,525.00
4. Charlie C. $5,465.00
5. Bianca W. $5,415.00
6. Gayle F. $5,175.00
7. Christian H. $5,172.50
8. Michael F. $5,150.00

Looks like this is getting a bjtournaments.com internal affair.

This time, I needed 5 rebuys. The guys at betcom.com must be making real $$$ with this format. (However, that's ok with me, as long as they return me the $5000 1st prize)

 

the furious 4

1. Dave K. $7,500.00
2. Charlie C. $6,632.50
3. Bianca W. $6,480.00
4. Christian H. $6,385.00

Ken, Walt, Gayle - what happened?

I was hoping to share the big pot with you...

 

Congrats to Selecticom!

I made my run at it last night and lost 5 straight max bets (two dealer 21s with bust cards up and two dealer blackjacks on last two hands). I may not play this tourney again - betcom gets to keep too much money from our rebuys since there is no corresponding increase in the prize pool.

Selecticom you are carrying the torch now for BJT - bring home the $5K!
